We covered how to create multiline strings in the Ruby programming language, but what about if you're using Python? Well in Python there are two ways to create a multiline string.

Triple Quotes for a Multiline Python String

You can use a triple quote or triple double-quote to create a multiline string in Python:

multiline = '''
a string
  with many lines
    in python.
'''

multiline = """
You can use double-quotes
  for a multiline string too,
  and "quotes" within the 'string'.
"""

Brackets to Enclose a Multiline String

The other way is to use a bracket to enclose multiple strings that use single or double quotes:

multiline = (
'first'
'second'
)

multiline = (
  "hello"
  "world"
)

You will need to add a '\n' at the end of each line to preserve the newlines. Just like this:

multiline = ("first line\n"
  "second line\n"
)
